- I saw this posted on USENET today. Since my kids are homeschooled, they
- are subjected to sodomites, socialists, and other liberals but for those
- who children are incarcerated in the public socialist system, this
- information will help you to protect them.

- THE RIGHTS OF PARENTS AND STUDENTS
- REGARDING PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOL EDUCATION
-
-
- Considering the diversity of curricular matters being
- discussed in both public and private schools today, it is of
- vital importance that parents know their rights and the rights
- of their children under law. It is equally important that
- parents inform the school authorities, in the institution where
- their child attends, that they desire to have access to and
- opportunity to approve or disapprove of the curricula their
- child will be taught BEFORE the child is subjected to the
- material in class.
-
- It does not go without saying that much of what is being
- taught as "truth" and "fact" in schools today is directly con-
- trary to measurable scientific thought and Biblical veracity.
-
- The recent upsurge of parents in New York City regarding
- materials of a perverted sexual orientation that were being
- thrust upon their children at the FIRST GRADE LEVEL, is itself
- only the tip of the iceberg.
-
- Educational institutions are not a law unto themselves.
- They are accountable to local school boards, which in turn, are
- accountable to parents and the public-at-large. Given the overall
- mobility of our society, whether a student in one state is
- correctly taught is and ought to be the concern of the rest of us.
- Thus, New York's problems are ours as well.
-
- The following letter is a model by which you may legally
- inform your school officials of your rightful desires with respect
- to the education of your child. Read it carefully; then copy and
- submit it to your local school officials. Be certain that they
- NOT BE ALLOWED TO IGNORE your request for a copy of their "policy
- statement on procedures for parental permission requirements."
- This is your right under the law!

-

- ment) to the General Education Provision Act, and under its
- regulations as published in the Federal Register of September 6,
- 1984, which became effective November 12, 1984.

- first at the local level, and then with the U.S. Department of
- Education. If a voluntary remedy fails, federal funds can be
- withdrawn from those in violation of the law.
-
- I respectfully ask you to send me a substantive response to
- this letter, attaching a copy of your policy statement on
- procedures for parental permission requirements, to notify all my
- child's teachers, and to keep a copy of this letter in my child's
- permanent file.
